Friend, do you wonder what the Lord does
While you're praying hard and still waiting?
Has He forgotten what's going on?
Does He know your poor heart is breaking?
Oh, I've learned the truth
And my life's the proof
Yes, I know what God did for me
I've been in your place
Now through eyes of faith, I can see
God's building bridges and tearing down walls
Lifting His children whenever one falls
He's turning rivers of tears back into laughter
He's mending fences, He's changing minds
I've seen Him do it time after time
He's speaking peace to a storm because He's the master
Yes, that's what God does between the prayer and the answer
Don't be discouraged, God's on your side
Though He may not come in a hurry
Friend, He's on His way, and He'll get there in time
And prove there's no reason to worry
Oh, there's never been one dark moment when you haven't been there on His mind
And I have no doubt, He's working it out and you'll find
God's building bridges and tearing down walls
Lifting His children whenever one falls
He's turning rivers of tears back into laughter
He's mending fences, He's changing minds
I've seen Him do it time after time
He's speaking peace to a storm because He's the master
Oh, that's what God does between the prayer and the answer
If you could see how He's working today
You'd lift your head up and say
God's building bridges and tearing down walls
Lifting His children whenever one falls
He's turning rivers of tears back into laughter
He's mending fences, He's changing minds
I've seen Him do it time after time
He's speaking peace to a storm because He's the master
Oh, that's what God does between the prayer and the answer
Yes, that's what God does between the prayer and the answer
